i have a 15 year old (once stray kitten) that is a tortie. she was scared of water when we first brought her home because i think someone tried to drown her. she never wanted to drink when people were around. we named her 'tornado' because she was so energized after eating that she would run around in circles and then slide across the kitchen floor and hit the wall, and slide the other way, and run out the door. now, she is old, but still cute. the neighbor's younger tomcat always hits on her and i have to rescue her and bring her inside.
i have a good pic of her, but i can't seem to figure out how to get it on the computer without a scanner. maybe i'll have my aunt scan it for me. she's very even tempered for a cat. very quiet. and, refined. she doesn't like cat food, and eats bits of roast beef or turkey. she rotates her beds, sleeping on ours, my sons, daughters, three year old daughters - i think to show that she loves us all equally. but, i know she loves my husband the most because he talks to her the most. i get jealous when the first thing he says (about five times) when he comes home is 'hello, kitty' 'hello, tornado' 'good, pussy cat' etc. and then she rubs against his leg (only does this to me when she wants food) and he pets her. (meanwhile, after a hard days work, i'm just watching the interaction - and wondering if i was a cat???)
ps galonia, your birds are sweet, too! i love birds, but the cat would eat them.
